New world class Bangalore plant opens

Saft, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of high-tech industrial batteries, has inaugurated a new world-class factory in Bidadi, Bangalore with its partner, Amalgamations, to meet the growing needs of India’s energy and power sectors.

The new 75,000 sq.ft factory, which will be operated by the AMCO Saft India Limited joint venture, will produce state-of-the-art, nickel-based, rechargeable batteries, effectively doubling Saft’s local production capacity for industrial battery systems. This additional capacity will enable Saft to address the growing demand for energy storage to support mega power plants and photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy schemes, as well as meeting the back-up power needs of defense and oil and gas industry customers.
